michael Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Taken from another forum.... ------------------------------------------------- Theres a guy doing a scam at the moment on UK car forums. He posts up saying he has a garage full of car parts to shift, all very rare, desirable stuff. And great prices. Only accepts Paypal and if anyone wants to collect he goes a bit quiet on them. Usually claims to be rebuilding a V8 Landrover but whatever the forum is (Opel Manta, Mk1 Astra, Ford Escort) he's got piles of stuff for them from an old project. Needless to say people get excited, pay him hods of cash by Paypal and then he disappears... Examples of him in action: http://www.escortevolution.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=74748 http://www.mantaclub.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=11186 http://www.mk1oc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5219 Apparently he took the Escort guys for well over £1000 before he was busted. --------------------------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branners Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 its one of the reasons why we dont let 'non members' post in the for sale section. Shame we cant always see rip offs coming so this is a good heads up. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
